Abstract

Several developments and findings in the life sciences demand that we think about genetics in a completely new, or at least different, way. We know better than ever that our environment and our genes are closer to each other than we have suspected. This is what epigenetics, which I highlight in Sect. 8.1, teaches us. It is without doubt one of the most exciting areas of genetics and offers, for those who need it, a molecular biological basis for our responsibility for future generations (Fig. 8.1).
